    well khan would be literally floored if he fought marquez!

    i just don't see khan losing to a pressure fighter. he's too good imo.

    What a ****ing insult to Taylor!

    Mel had FAR more skill than Con artist, and a lightyears better chin.

    You must not know **** about the sport.

    no doubt he will not be able to withstand such punishment much longer, or he will end up like him

    Khan is tall and appears to have the frame for WW.

    Taylor is short and stocky and was always small for WW. Taylor was a very effective in-fighter than Khan, who is mainly just a long range fighter.

    Taylor was more skilled and well polished on both offense and defense, although his defense was flawed.

    Dunno, but I do know he slurs pretty badly nowadays.

    Con will NEVER be as good as the pre-Chavez Taylor. He just doesnt have that type of talent or chin.

    Chavez would have raped Con inside of 6.

    These goddamn newbies to the sport say some stupid ****.

    And barely survived.

    Mel Taylor would have handled Maidana pretty easily.

    Anybody comparing the two of them must be new to the sport, and not realize how good Taylor was.
